New release of lightweight open source Java application server brings key new
features to increase performance and support cloud deployment




PALO ALTO, Calif., Nov. 9 /PRNewswire/ -- Intalio, Inc., the Enterprise Cloud
Company, today announced the immediate availability of Jetty 7, the leading
lightweight open source Java application server. The new release includes
features and capabilities that extend Jetty's reach into mission-critical
environments, as well as support its deployment on top of cloud computing
platforms.

Jetty 7 brings performance optimizations that continue to make Jetty highly
suitable for rich web applications. Thanks to its small memory footprint,
Jetty has become the most popular application server for embedding into other
open source projects, including ActiveMQ, Alfresco, Equinox, Felix, FUSE,
Geronimo, GigaSpaces, JRuby, Liferay, Maven, Nuxeo, OFBiz and Tungsten. Jetty
also quickly established itself as the standard Java application server for
the leading providers of cloud computing services, such as Google with Google
AppEngine and the Google Web Toolkit, and Yahoo! with Hadoop and Zimbra. 

Jetty 7 is the first release of Jetty developed in partnership with
Eclipse.org, where the project has gone through phases of IP auditing, dual
licensing, and improved packaging for such things as OSGi integration. This
brings some of the latest web serving technologies to one of the largest
communities of Java developers. In addition, Jetty 7 makes some of the key
servlet 3.0 features such as asynchronous transactions and fragments available
in a servlet 2.5 container.

"We are pleased that Jetty is part of Eclipse.org and is continuing to be
adopted into a broad range of applications," said Ismael Chang Ghalimi,
Founder and CEO of Intalio, Inc. "As Intalio brings the cloud computing
revolution behind the firewall, Jetty is becoming a standard building block of
its underlying infrastructure." 

Jetty is used as a standard Java application server by many open source
projects for cloud computing, including Eucalyptus and Hadoop. Jetty provides
both an asynchronous HTTP server and an asynchronous HTTP client, and
therefore supports scalable implementations of both ends of protocols such as
Bayeux, XMPP, and Google Wave that are playing a critical role in cloud
computing environments. Jetty can also be embedded in small and mobile
devices. Today, Jetty runs on J2ME and Google Android, and is powering new
smartphones from Verizon and other manufacturers that will start production
before the end of 2009.

"Jetty 7 contains a significant reorganization of the packaging and jars, as
well as many fundamental improvements in the underlying infrastructure of
Jetty," said Adam Lieber, General Manager, Intalio|Works, and former CEO of
Webtide. "With Jetty already deployed into some of the most demanding
enterprise environments, Jetty has been accepted for mission-critical
deployments. And now that Webtide is fully integrated into Intalio, Jetty is
being introduced to a wider base of users worldwide."

The Jetty distribution is available via http://eclipse.org/jetty under the
terms of the apache 2.0 or eclipse 1.0 licenses.  It is covered by the terms
of the Eclipse Foundation Software User Agreement. The distribution contains
the core functionality of HTTP server, servlet container and HTTP client. More
